Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons low-fat unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- for serving celery sticks
- for serving carrot sticks
- for dipping low-fat ranch dressing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the fat to drain off the wings as they cook.
In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
Add the wings to the bowl with the spice mixture, tossing until the wings are completely coated.
Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the wings and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. Melt the low-fat unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and white vinegar. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Toss the wings in the buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.
Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and low-fat ranch dressing on the side.
